A fall into the sea turned her into the CEO's fiancée, leading to love and marriage.
Everything seemed like a match made in heaven, but she inexplicably became pregnant with another man&...
He shot his brother.
"Isn't your master feeling unwell? It's so late, why doesn't he get some rest?" Chao Rirou noticed something was wrong as soon as Hua Chuyu left. He must be hiding something from her. At this moment, she was sitting on the sofa in his room, questioning his subordinates.
"The young master felt stuffy in the room, so he went out to get some fresh air!" His eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look her in the eyes when he spoke.
"The young master is not feeling unwell at all, right? He must have gone to save someone without telling me!" Asahirou was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore. She was basically certain of it.
"Nothing..."
"Albert was not captured by Yue Lanxiu. He came here by boat by himself, so the master and servant left on the boat!" Zhao Rirou said slowly, rubbing her eyebrows.
"Uh..." The lady is so smart, is there any need for him to lie?
"It goes without saying that you don't have any tools to contact the outside world?"
"Yes!"
Asahirou sighed and left, feeling at a loss. She looked through the glass window and saw a boat on the lake sailing towards them.
Her worried look disappeared immediately and she quickly ran downstairs, out of the house, and to the lake.
She thought it was Yue Lanxiu or Hua Chuyu? Of course, it could be someone else, but she never expected it to be Shui Wulian!
The woman slowly walked down from the boat with a malicious smile, and the look in her eyes when she looked at herself was always poisonous.
Shui Wulian's eyes told her that this woman was coming for her! So how did this woman know she was here? And what was her purpose in coming to see her?
"He protected you so well!" It was easy to hear the jealousy in Shui Wulian's voice, which had turned into hatred. "Why do they all want to protect you?" Jing was like this, Xiu was like this too! They once only had her in their eyes and hearts! Why did they change their hearts?! "What's so good about you?"
"I'm not good at all, they are just blind!" The hatred overflowing from those sad eyes told her that the other party could no longer tolerate her.
"They're more than blind, they're simply shameless! What you can't get is the best, that's why they keep thinking about you!"
Asahirou was in no mood to listen to her nagging. She was thinking about how to change the subject. Her goal was her boat! She had to get on the boat and leave here immediately!
Shui Wulian's expression suddenly changed. Her face, originally filled with grief and indignation, suddenly smiled with ulterior motives. Shui Wulian looked at her with a look that seemed to have grasped her. She added, "But is this okay for you? You've hidden yourself under the umbrella of protection, but your father and brother are exposed to the police's guns!"
Zhao Rirou's heart suddenly sank, but she stared at Shui Wulian calmly, saying calmly, "Please pick out the key points!"
Shui Wulian was Yue Lanjing's friend, so it wasn't surprising that she knew Li Ao was her father and Hua Chuyu was her brother. What was strange was that she seemed to know Hua Chuyu's current situation very well. Did she also learn this from Yue Lanjing? Had Yue Lanjing woken up? Her mind was now completely focused on her family, and she really didn't have the energy to think about anything else.
"The point is, your brother might have fallen into the police's trap in order to save your father. Although Hua Chuyu is very powerful, he can't defeat hundreds of guns. Those guns are designed to blow up his head and heart!" Shui Wulian overheard this information from Yue Lanjing. She originally went to see him after learning that he was injured, but she didn't expect her to hear these secrets.
Jing wanted to wipe out Li Ao's family! But she had to spare Chao Rirou! She was the daughter of the murderer of her father, yet she still tried every means to protect her!
Zhao Rirou's heart sank to the bottom. Although she had thought of the worst possible outcome, it was still unbearable if it really happened. But she had to hold on. "You didn't come here just to see me anxious and sad, did you?"
"How is that possible! I won't be happy just seeing you sad! I will only be happy when I see you dead!" Shui Wulian said bluntly. She was not afraid that Chao Rirou would kill her, because Chao Rirou probably still had many questions she wanted to know from her.
Perhaps she felt that Asahiro was truly going to die this time, and the joyful smile on her face was genuine. "So, do you really want to go save your brother and father?"
"That's unnecessary to ask!" Asahirou remained calm and composed in dealing with her.
"Then come aboard with me!"
"No way!" Hua Chuyu's subordinates rushed over to stop Zhao Rirou, glaring at Shui Wulian fiercely and saying, "You must not fall for this woman's tricks. I think there must be something fishy going on on this boat!"
Shui Wulian gave him a wicked smile with raised eyebrows.
"No, it's very safe on the boat. Although she wants me dead, there are police to help her get rid of me. Why would she be stupid enough to do it herself?" Asahirou knew Shui Wulian's thoughts very well.
Asahiro walked slowly towards her, looking at her but not paying attention to her.
In the end, Shui Wulian only told her Hua Chuyu's current location and revealed nothing else.
As for Li Kexiao, the police were about to arrest him on charges of jailbreaking.
Li Ao had already been arranged elsewhere by the police, but they still insisted that he was kidnapped and hidden by Li Kexiao!
Li Kexiao didn't even see a hair of his father's head before he was exposed under the police's nose and was charged with prison break.
But this was exactly what he wanted. He had exposed himself on purpose. His purpose was to attract the main force of the police and deal with them.
Although the opponent was an elite force, his men were no pushovers and he could handle it with ease.
During the fight, he kicked a policeman out of the fourth-floor window. Just as he was about to fall, he grabbed the policeman at the critical moment.
After the rescued policeman came back to his senses from his panic, his attitude towards him was obviously different. Adhering to the principle of repaying a favor, the policeman vaguely revealed to him that their main force was not here!
Li Kexiao's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized, "Not here? Could it be with Hua Chuyu?!"
"Oh no!" Li Kexiao immediately rushed to Hua Chuyu.
Before this, he couldn't help but look for Yue Lanxiu's figure. He had clearly seen him before, so why was he gone now?
When Chao Rirou was about to reach her destination, her car ran into Li Kexiao.
The two opened the car window, and Li Kexiao exclaimed, "Why is it you?! How did you get out?!"
"It flew out." His words made Asahiro realize that he was well aware of her actions.
How could a guy who was supposedly in the US know so much about her? And why was he suddenly here? Was he going to the same place as her?
"Then just keep flying!" Li Kexiao didn't ask her why she appeared here, because the answer was obvious, the same as his.
Asahirou said no more, stepped on the accelerator, and the car really flew out, scraping off a large piece of paint on the car body!
"Damn it!" Why do the people in their family have such bad tempers? Li Kexiao was so angry that he cursed loudly and stepped on the accelerator to chase after her, but found that she had parked her car in a relatively secluded place on the side of the road, and further ahead, there was a police car.
His heart beat faster in his chest and he had a very bad feeling.
He tried to remain calm and parked the car behind Asahiro.
The two men got out of the car and walked side by side. Looking at the scene before them, they both knew exactly what was going to happen and were thinking about how to save the man from the police...
Suddenly, several gunshots rang out, and the faces of the two men turned pale at the same time, as if they were the ones shot. They staggered and were about to fall, but instinctively ran towards the source of the sound in front of them!
Then, more police officers came into view than I had imagined. They all held guns and aimed at the same place! Their tall figures blocked out something in that place. Although I couldn't see it, I could guess it!
Were they the ones who fired the gunshots just now? Chao Rirou felt herself enveloped by a huge panic, causing her mind to go blank. All her actions now were instinctive reactions. She instinctively rushed towards the impenetrable force, even if the guns were pointed at her!
Chao Rirou discovered that some people in the large army had put down their guns, and some were looking away from the front. She followed their gaze and saw Yue Lanxiu!
I saw him standing on a high place - on the wall of the fountain, holding a gun high in his hand. He stood there stiffly as if he had been hit by acupuncture. He looked very calm, but beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead one by one!
He looked like he had just fired a gun. Could it be that he was the one who made the gunshot? Asahirou speculated in astonishment.
He didn't see her. He seemed to be unable to see other people and things. He just stared at the direction where the bullet was fired, lost in thought.
Asahiro squeezed into the wall of flesh, desperately trying to see what he had hit. Who was he shooting at?!
Of course the police stopped her and questioned her, but anyone who stopped her at this moment would be beaten away by her, and anyone who dared to attack her would also be beaten away by Li Kexiao!
One of the leading police officers recognized Asahiro and immediately ordered them to drop their weapons and take her back to the station! Their superiors had just ordered that if this woman showed up, she must not be harmed in the slightest!
Through the gap, Chao Rirou finally saw the situation inside. Her pupils suddenly shrank, and she felt a sharp pain in her chest. Her whole body went limp. If the police hadn't supported her, she would have fallen to the ground.
Two figures were clearly reflected in his trembling eyes. One figure had his eyes closed, as if he had stopped breathing. He lay motionless and lifeless on the ground. The other figure's eyes were still open, but he had been shot several times. Blood kept flowing from his mouth, covering his body in blood. Although he was still breathing, his breath was rapid and weak...
"No--" Albert, who had lost his reaction due to the great shock, suddenly shouted in horror. He knelt on the ground, supporting one person with each hand.
Seeing this scene, Li Kexiao's heart was about to explode. He rushed over with red eyes, and he would kill anyone who dared to stop him!
Asahirou also ran over regardless of everything.
Li Kexiao knelt down in front of his father with a plop, looking at the two lives that seemed to be disappearing in front of him with horror. The fear and anger made his whole body tremble involuntarily.
Hua Chuyu's gaze still lingered on Yue Lanxiu. The initial surprise gradually disappeared. She thought he would be angry and hateful, but he smiled and then withdrew his gaze.
After that, his eyes wandered between Zhao Rirou and Li Kexiao. He managed to squeeze out the intermittent words from his throat, which could be regarded as an explanation, "Father, I will leave it to you!"
Her gaze finally paused on Li Kexiao's face, and she used the last bit of her strength to entrust him, "And her." Of course, she was referring to April Sakura.
After saying that, he lowered his head.
Asahirou's breath was choked by his action.
"Ah... call an ambulance... call an ambulance!" Li Kexiao screamed heartbreakingly, veins bulging on his forehead, and his excited voice seemed to pierce people's eardrums.
Yue Lanxiu seemed to have suddenly recovered, and his hand holding the gun was shaking non-stop. It was Xu Rongxuan who helped him take the gun back. Xu Rongxuan himself looked frightened.
Yue Lanxiu still stood there blankly, his expression numb and emotionless, but his heart was bleeding! The shots he fired were like shots to his own heart! The pain was so intense that his soul seemed to be leaving his body. If Hua Chuyu died like this, then he would not be able to live anymore...
The wound in his heart grew bigger when he saw Asahiro’s grief-stricken face... I’m sorry for making you sad again!
She glanced at him, and he looked away, unable to face her. Feeling her scrutiny, which seemed to penetrate his heart, he almost collapsed! His eyes couldn't help but meet Li Kexiao's. As expected, those painful, disappointed eyes were filled with anger and questioning.
His face was filled with sorrow, and he could only watch helplessly and hopelessly as the emotions they had accumulated all along the way began to cool and collapse...
In their eyes, he had plotted against and betrayed them!
He was powerless to make excuses; this tragedy was indeed caused by his misjudgment! He was no longer qualified to be forgiven...
"Catch them all and take them back!" the leader ordered sternly.
"Stop!" Suddenly someone shouted loudly, like thunder, making people obey instinctively.
Everyone looked and saw Yue Lanjing supporting an old man walking towards them from a distance. She looked tired and in a hurry. Behind her were Guan Shaoling and several bodyguards.
The sound of an ambulance also sounded behind them, coming closer and closer. Everyone thought it was Yue Lanjing who called it, but in fact it was Yue Lanxiu who called it earlier.
Yue Lanxiu's attention was attracted by the old man. His black eyes suddenly widened, and a light of astonishment and excitement gradually emanated from his dull eyes.
Wasn't that solemn, heavy-footed old man his master?! He was still alive! Tears welled in his eyes, and he felt incredibly grateful.
But a cold shudder suddenly crept up his back again. He felt as if an invisible rope had been put around his neck without him noticing. Now it was slowly tightening. He wanted to take it off but couldn't!
"Hello, police officer. I am Jing Ming, the Jing Ming you think was killed by Li Ao. But I am not back from the dead. This is all a misunderstanding! I was not killed. To be more precise, I don't know and have never seen Mr. Li Ao! So the murderer may not exist at all! I think Mr. Li would declare that he killed me. Firstly, he wanted to provoke his enemies; secondly, he may have been greatly stimulated and became mentally ill, so he talked nonsense! In short, I am standing in front of you alive now, so there is no possibility that he killed me!" Jing Ming explained his purpose concisely.
He and his wife had already fled the place, having finally relaxed, thanks to Yue Lanjing's help. Then, Yue Lanjing sent someone to find them and tell him about this tragic incident. He felt deeply distressed, feeling a sense of responsibility he couldn't escape. So, he rushed back, hoping to stop this tragedy and prevent anyone else from getting hurt.
But when he saw the two people lying on the ground dying, he felt that he was still too late, and his mood became extremely heavy.
"Even so, it does not rule out the possibility that Li Ao did not commit the crime. It only means that the person he killed was not you! I think the person he wanted to kill was you, but he killed the wrong person!" The police raised his eyebrows and looked at Jing Ming, his eyes seemed to be saying, do you still want to speak for him?
Yue Lanjing's distressed eyes kept falling on Zhao Rirou. He couldn't help but step forward. After hearing the police's words, he felt that he had to deal with this side first. "Mr. Officer, you are just guessing, right? Since the matter has yet to be verified, you can't just jump to conclusions! Whether Li Ao has committed murder or not still needs further investigation, right? So you can't treat him as a murderer anymore. This includes his family. You have no right to arrest and punish anyone at will!"
"This..." Whether it was because they were intimidated by Yue Lanjing's kingly aura or worried about the power behind him, the police officer's momentum weakened and he dared not refute it. "I must seek the advice of my superiors!"
"It's okay, but please don't delay the treatment! Even criminals have the right to be treated, not to mention that whether he is a criminal or not has yet to be confirmed! If he is just an ordinary mental patient, but his life is lost because of your actions, then you must bear the corresponding responsibility!" Yue Lanjing's eyes told them that this was not a threat, and that they would definitely be held accountable.
The ambulance arrived and the paramedics carried the injured into the car. Asahirou and others got on the ambulance together. The police did not obstruct them but just sent someone to follow closely behind.
As she hurriedly passed by Yue Lanjing, Zhao Rirou nodded slightly to express her gratitude.
Yue Lanjing looked at her with eyes so gentle that they seemed to shed tears. He did not follow her because he had important matters to deal with here.
Chao Rirou paid special attention to Master Jingming, who was standing beside Yue Lanjing. Was he the master of her savior, Yue Lanxiu? Sure enough, he possessed the same temperament as Yue Lanxiu: wise, calm, and possessed a rare aura of righteousness!
She couldn't help but glance at Yue Lanxiu again. This time, she really didn't understand him! The car started, and he was getting farther and farther away from her...
